Pro Champ 440 to Remain Premier Class with USSA

With numbers continuing to grow in the Pro Champ 440 class, the USSA ProStar Series will continue to shine the spotlight on the Pro Champ division through the 2022-2023 season. Being committed to the teams and talent working hard to succeed in the Pro Champ 440 class, the USSA ProStar Series premier event, the ProStar Cup Tour, will also remain a Pro Champ 440 class for the next two seasons. Details regarding sponsorship, scheduling, and purse money for the 2021-2022 USSA ProStar Series will be announced in the near future.

USSA Director of Competition Bob Richardson stated, “As in the past, the USSA ProStar Series will continue to offer many diverse classes during regular race weekends including Pro Champ 440, F-III, Pro-Lite and Outlaw among others. Should any changes be planned to the long-term future class structure of the ProStar Series format or the ProStar Cup Tour, we are committed to sharing those changes well in advance of race season. Our race partners, sponsors, and venues are 100% behind our decision to continue to maintain our current spotlight on the Pro Champ class.”

Richardson went on to say: “Although we only held one sanctioned race last year due to COVID restrictions, we saw more than 15 racers entered in Sunday’s Pro Champ 440 division, The F-III race for Sunday was scratched when only two drivers entered. Our fans, sponsors, venues, and race teams deserve more than 2 or 3 entries in a “premier” class. We like Pro Champ 440 and believe with the recent rule changes, the class has long-term viability. If we make any changes, our race teams will know 2-3 years in advance.”

The 2021-2022 USSA ProStar Series season is shaping up quickly. Details regarding scheduling, sponsors and race day updates will be released in the near future. Follow USSA on Facebook and Instagram and on the web at ussaprostar.com.
